    Defendant wounds plaintiff, lawyer in Moscow court

    MOSCOW


    A defendant in a Moscow magistrate's court fired with an assault
    rifle at the plaintiff and his lawyer, seriously wounding both, city
    police told Itar-Tass.

    The incident occurred in Domodedovskaya Street about noon on
    Wednesday. "During a court hearing, the defendant took out a
    Kalashnikov rifle and fired several shots at the plaintiff and his
    lawyer. The men were hospitalized with serious wounds," a
    law-enforcement official said.

    The attacker, an ethnic Armenian, was detained and brought to a
    police station.

    A group of investigators are working at the scene of shooting. They
    are questioning court personnel about how the man brought the weapon
    into the building unnoticed.
